At the #StandUpforScience rallies, many protesters brought along cheeky signs targeting President Trump, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE.

Here are some of the best signs our reporters saw in Atlanta, New York, and Seattle:

This is probably a good time to join a Community Supported Agriculture program. I worry that stores will have a hard time stocking fresh produce in the near future -- some of the disruptions include tariffs on Mexico, loss of USDA produce inspectors, and a workforce limited by xenophobia.

Headed to #RootsTech2025 to support @wikitree.

I usually take the train when I travel. Much more civilized and you arrive rested vs filled with anxiety. But the train was a 4 day trip. Yikes.

.... Also, when airport security says to take out "laptops only", they also mean tablets. Learned that the hard way. sigh

Security through the World's busiest airport can be a long venture.

I already miss the Baby Sharks. 🐶

A global solidarity post: we’re currently witnessing the Trump/Musk regime pushing through their “America First” foreign policy. US global power will now become purely extractive, transactional, and ethnonationalist, harkening back to McKinley in the 19th century, shedding any humanitarian elements developed during the post-WWII consensus.

That’s the big picture historical view. In the here and now, this means people are starving and dying as US aid is abruptly withdrawn.

We’d like to encourage support for those left hanging dry.

The Atlanta metro area is home to many refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, and South Sudan, three countries of many whose US-subsidized food aid has been interrupted or made precarious. Many refugees here are helping support those back in their home countries. Women Watch Afrika - womenwatchafrika.org/services/ - is a local organization engaging in mutual aid, and the IRC - rescue.org - is an NGO with a base in Atlanta that engages in direct aid to refugees here and abroad.

We also encourage support for anti-authoritarian and anarchist Ukrainians against Russian imperialism. Solidarity Collectives - solidaritycollectives.org/en/ - has been providing support to anti-authoritarian fighters who choose to fight within the Ukrainian armed forces, and also provides rescue and medical aid. Now that Russian and US imperialism have become increasingly aligned, in the light of global solidarity, supporting their brave resistance is even more crucial.
